Use your shift register to display a visualization of binary numbers using LEDs
// Visualization of binary numbers using LEDs
int latchPin = 11;
int clockPin = 9;
int dataPin = 12;
int dt = 1000;
byte LEDs = 0B00000000;
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(latchPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(clockPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(dataPin, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
digitalWrite(latchPin, LOW);
shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, LSBFIRST, LEDs);
digitalWrite(latchPin, HIGH);
delay(dt);
LEDs = LEDs + 1;
Serial.print(LEDs, BIN);
Serial.print(" = ");
Serial.println(LEDs);
delay(dt);
}
